It's Only a Paper Moon
Billy Rose, E. Y. Harburg, Harold Arlen
Say it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea.
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.
Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree.
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.
Without your love
It's a honky tonk parade.
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade.
It's a Barnum and Bailey world,
Just as phony as it can be.
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.
Without your love
It's a honky tonk parade.
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade.
It's a Barnum and Bailey world,
Just as phony as it can be.
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.
